Alpha particle detection in high magnetic fields with applications in designing fission fragment rocket engine

Abstract We present recent experiments on an innovative alpha particle detection system, designed to investigate charged particle confinement and transport in high magnetic fields. Our test platform operates within a 3-T Siemens MRI superconducting magnet, providing a large cross-section (~ 40 cm di...
